NORMAL STUDENTS TO WEEP

(From Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, June 11. Special. ) Dis
appointment, sorrow and humiliation
awaits a large per cent of the graduating
class of the Peru Normal school, due to
the false hopes raised by Principal-Crab-tree
in his talk to the students on com
mencement day. Mr. Crabtree has been
given credit for turning out the largest
graduating class In the history of the
school, but the records of the state ex
amining board, whioh has passed on the
credits of the students, will show that
the nun. her has been materially reduced.
In fact of the 182 announced as having
graduated only fifty-six ha dsufflclent
credits ttx get them through with first
grad certificates.
N In a talk 'to the students when he pre
sented them to. the State Normal board
Mr. Crabtrou is quoted as having said In
substance: "You have finished i..e work
here and you are entitled to certificates,"
then turning to the members of the Nor
mal board present, he continued, "and I
recommend that you be given certifi
cates." When this lnformat.on was brought to
State Superintendent Bishop he was very
much surprised and somewhat tffoused
that the normal school presment would
make such a statement when he knew
tha credits to wiach each student was
entitled and that the Normal board Is In
ifio way responsible for the credits or the
. srales. Astandard has been set for grad
uation from tua normal schools, and It
can be easily told on the first day of
cbool whether a student Is able to se
I cure sufficient credits to be graduated.
' Tha large graduating class was lined up
Cm .the stage at the Peru normal on com
mencement day and each was presented
ftrlth unsigned diplomas or rather white
i paper rolled and each was given to under
stand that bis diploma or certificate would
be signed in due time without further
credits or effort on his part. When the
examining board checked over the credits
It was discovered that many did not grad
uate and cannot be graduated until much
more Work ,1s done.
Record! of Board,
the records of the examining board show
f this: Fifty-six students received first
'grade certificates and twenty applicants
were rejected; for junior certificates,
, twenty-one wero approved and ten re
d jeeted for trainers' certificates, five were
approved and one rejected. Of candidates
for first grade certificates at the close of
the summer school, thlrty-elgh will be ac
cepted and thirty-four will not; for Junior
certificates at the-close of tlie sirmmer
school, four will pass and fourteen will
be rejected; for trainers' certificates at
the close of the summer school, six will
receive certificates and six will not.
Mr. Crabtree In his talk to the students
gave each of them to understand he was
entitled to certificates.
sAt this time there are a great number
of students graduated from the Peru nor
J mal school in 1900. the late defunct demo-
- cratio board and Principal Crabtree. who
are teaching, who have no legal .certifi
cate, because they have failed to come
, up to the standard fixed by the committee
of which Mr. Crabtree was a member.
The records of the examining board on
that class of 1900 show this: Hecommended
for diplomas. 142; rejected, five; diplomas
in hands of the board, but withheld, be
cause of lack of credits, nine; elementary
certificates recommended, fifty-four; no
certlflciitcs on file for wenty-nlne; with
held for lack of credits, nine; certificates
withheld because of a lack of certificates
and credits, thirty. '
t hvrklss Vo fx"'-
When the democratic board was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court, the
regular board ordered Mr. Crabtree to file
at once credits to which all students were
entitled, so that new and legal certificates
4 toilsht be issued. In some Instances the
I normal school requested copies of the rec
ords from the state superintendent In order
to check up the students. Some of these
records have been changed after leaving
the hands of the stale superintendent. In
one Instance a student who had In the orig
inal record been given credit for eighty
four weeks was given credit for IS weeas
V before the record ruturned to the
state superintendent. To preveni any more
Juggling of records, Mr. Bishop has given
crders that hereafter request for these
records be refused.
fl law fixes the standard maintained by
i, rWmal schools as the standard to be
uiaintalned by the private school, so State
gupwUUeudeul Bishop and other membsrs
Nebraska
of the State Normal board are trying hard
to kep up the standard of the normals,
but In the Instance of the graduating class
of 1903 of the Peru Normal school every
possible advantage was given to the stu
dents who had been given diplomas by the
democratic political board, In order to save
the students humiliation, but many were
unable to meet tho requirements. A mem
ber of the examining board Is authority
for the statement that it was formerly the
case that the private srHools had to be
jogged up often to prevent graduating stu
dents not qualified, hut now this Is changed
and an effort is being made to keep the
Peru Normal school up to the standard.
In this respect the Peru normal, according
to the records of the examining board, is
very muc hbehind the Nearney normal.
Flan Day Proclamation.
Governor Shallenberger has issued the
following Flag day proclamation:
By virtue of the authority In me vested,
I hereby designate and proclaim Tuesday,
June 14, 1910, Flag day.
' On this 133d anniversary of the day when
by act of congress the stars and stripes

are again reminded that the devotion to
liberty and Justice of our countrymen is
as fervent and enduring as the foundation
upon which rests the greatest achievement
in popular government recorded in all
history.
Let our observance of the day be such
as to inculcate in our young men and
women a most lofty inspiration of
patriotism, and may our love and ven
eration for the flag be renewed In a sincere
appreciation of the price of human liberty.
It Is accordingly directed that on this
day Old Olory be displayed from the Capi
tol and all other state buildings. I
earnestly request ,that the citizens of Ne
braska exhibit the flag- ore their homes,
places of business and all public buildings
and may there be a general and appro
priate observance of the day.

Queer Democratic Doing;.
The question of who really made the mo
tion to endorse the Oregon plan of electing
United States sonators ut the meeting of
the democratic state committee will not be
'permitted to go down to history alongside
of. "Who struck Billy Patterson?" Arthur
Mullen, state oil Inspector, regardless of his
statement yesterday,, boa coroo forward to
stop the discussion, take the responsibility
and tell ut what happened on that all Im
portant question which caused the secre
tary of the committee to have a lapse of
memory.
"I made the speech to the committee sug
gesting that we should endorse the plan,"
said Mr. Mullen. "It was the first speech
made regarding resolutions. When I sat
down I suggested to Mr. Placek to follow
my talk with the motion, and he did. So,
while I technically did not make the formal
motion, I did suggest the action to the com
mittee, and then aked Mr. Placek to make
the formal motion."
Before the committee met Harvey New
branch and Mullen discussed the advisa
bility of passing a resolution endorsing the
Oregon plan, and Mr. Mullen agreed that
he would stand for the endorsement, though
opposed to any other resolutions that might
be suggested.
Now the only mystery that remains about
that committee meeting Is who Inspired
Leo Matthews, secretary, to write the min
utes of that action, after he had said his
minutes contained no mention of any ao
tlon on the question. If he wrote the min
utes as (he action occurred, who Inspired
him to forget that he had dona so 7
